description |
I went to the preferences panel of GNOME's clock applet to add a location. However, when I went to add Pittsburgh, it associated the city with the America/Detroit timezone when it belongs America/New York timezone. The latitude and longitude are correct. |
The gnome panel clock applet's "Locations" section assigns the wrong timezone to many cities if you add them via Edit -> Add -> Find. Examples of cities that have the wrong timezone assigned include Pittsburgh USA, Beijing China, Bombay (Mumbai) India, St. Petersburg Russia and many others.
The cause of the bug is that the timezone is calculated using a heuristic that takes the longitude of the city and tries to find the nearest timezone by longitude. As timezones often follow political boundaries rather than longitude, this gives incorrect results for many cities.
WORKAROUND:
If you know the correct timezone for a city, after pressing "OK" in the Find dialog, you can override the timezone in the "Timezone" dropdown box.

The cause of the bug is that the timezone is selected based on the nearest city in the database which has a timezone named for it, ignoring political boundaries.
